In the early 1900s, the area of las cataratas de Iguazú was made an Argentine national park. Three countriesBrazil, Argentina, and Paraguaymeet at these spectacular falls, which are four times the width of Niagara Falls and 50 percent higher. Hundreds of species of insects, birds, and mammals are found in the area, and at least 500 species of butterflies. As many as 15,000 tourists a day visit the falls, a worrisome number for environmental groups, who continue to lobby against nearby hotel construction projects.
